AutoBeanFactory (GWT Javadoc)

All Known Subinterfaces:

InProcessRequestFactory.Factory, MessageFactory
```
public interface AutoBeanFactory
```
A tag interface for the AutoBean generator. Instances of AutoBeans are created by declaring factory methods on a subtype of this interface.
Simple interfaces, consisting of only getters and setters, can be constructed with a no-arg method. Non-simple interfaces must provide a delegate object to implement a non-simple interface or use a AutoBeanFactory.Category.
```
 interface MyFactory extends AutoBeanFactory {
   // A factory method for a simple bean
   AutoBean<BeanInterface> beanInterface();
   // A factory method for a wrapper bean
   AutoBean<ArbitraryInterface> wrapper(ArbitraryInterface delegate);
 }
 
```

- Method Detail
  - create
```
<T> AutoBean<T> create(java.lang.Class<T> clazz)
```
    Allows dynamic creation of AutoBean instances based on declared parameterizations.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the parameterization of the created AutoBean
    
    Parameters:
    
    clazz - the Class of type T of the new instance
    
    Returns:
    
    an AutoBean of type T or null if the interface type is unknown to the factory
  - create
```
<T,U extends T> AutoBean<T> create(java.lang.Class<T> clazz,
                                         U delegate)
```
    Allows dynamic creation of wrapped AutoBean instances based on declared parameterizations.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - the parameterization of the created AutoBean
    
    U - the delegate's type, a subtype of T
    
    Parameters:
    
    clazz - the Class of type T of the new instance
    
    delegate - a delegate that extends type T
    
    Returns:
    
    an AutoBean of type T or null if the interface type is unknown to the factory
